Pytorch has been compiled and installed on a CPU that supports AVX2 instruction. What would it be like to run on a CPU that does not support the AVX2 instruction but only supports the AVX instruction?
this is my avx2 cpu：
this is my avx cpu:
Did pytorch supported AVX instruction?
In a current nightly binary print(torch.__config__.show()) returns:

which shows CPU capability usage: AVX2 and PERF_WITH_AVX=1, PERF_WITH_AVX2=1, PERF_WITH_AVX512=1 in the build settings, so I would assume AVX is supported.
